Even now, when Luan Feng and the others thought about it, they couldn’t help feeling a chill run down their spines. It was rumored that the power of Heaven Punishment was extremely effective against Holy Spirits and was the natural enemy of all Holy Spirits, so they were somewhat skeptical about this claim, but after seeing Zhang Ruoxi take the Stone Fire Source with their own eyes, how could they be skeptical again?
Now that the Star Boundary was in a crisis and the Blood Gate was acting strangely, it was hard to say if this was a blessing or a curse for the Wild Ancienlt Land's Monster Race.
Although Zhang Ruoxi was very close to Yang Kai at the time, after so many years and having her bloodline awakened, if she were to leave the Blood Gate now, no one could say for sure what kind of attitude she would have towards the Holy Spirit. If she were to kill all the Holy Spirits in the world like she did in the ancient times, Luan Feng and the others would be the first to bear it.
The three Monster Race Holy Venerable were extremely fast, and after leaving Phoenix Gathering Palace, they arrived at the place where the Blood Gate had disappeared.
Before they even got close, Luan Feng frowned and looked down from the sky. In the jungle and mountain range below, countless Monster Beast were rushing towards a certain direction. Most of these Monster Beast weren’t very strong and had yet to awaken their intelligence, so they would act according to their instincts.
The direction they were heading towards was the Blood Gate.
From the looks of it, the Blood Gate had indeed made some movements. Otherwise, why would these Monster Beasts act like this?
When they arrived at the mountain peak where the Blood Gate was located, they saw a large number of Monster Beast gathered there, many of them rushing over.
“There really is some movement,” Cang Gou frowned as he stared at the mountain peak, faintly feeling that there was indeed some kind of energy leaking out from it. That trace of energy was insignificant, but it caused the Monster Beasts gathered here to fight over it, resulting in a bloody battle. Monster Beasts who were not strong enough were killed one after another, their blood dying the entire mountain peak red.
“But it looks like it won’t open for now,” Fan Wu said thoughtfully. The Blood Gate was still nowhere to be seen, only a trace of strange energy leaking out from another space. This signified that the Blood Gate was only showing signs of reopening, and if it really opened, who knew how long it would take.
“There will be a day when it opens,” Luan Feng said worriedly, “We have to inform Yang Kai.”
If there was anyone in this world who could restrain Zhang Ruoxi, it would definitely be Yang Kai. A few decades ago, Zhang Ruoxi had killed Shi Huo with her weak strength, she had cultivated bitterly in the Blood Gate for many years. Who knew what kind of strength she would have when she came out of seclusion?
Luan Feng was also afraid that once she came out, she would kill her without even asking for the truth. If Zhang Ruoxi came out, it would be best if Yang Kai could watch from the side.
“Then send someone to High Heaven Palace!” Fan Wu nodded, “I heard that half a month ago, the Demon Race captured Star Soul Palace, and on the day of the battle, he returned from the Demon Territory.”
Now that there was a Space Array connecting the four regions, it was convenient for them to communicate with each other. There was no reason for the Eastern Region to not know about what had happened more than ten days ago.
Luan Feng shook her head and said, “This matter is too important. I’ll go personally, no matter what, he must come here to oversee this place.”
Fan Wu hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Good.”
Luan Feng immediately set off for High Heaven Palace and couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful for destroying the Space Array in the Pheonix Gathering Palace. Now, if she wanted to go anywhere else, she would have to go to the Stone Puppet Clan’s former residence. Only there was another Cross Domain Space Array made by Yang Kai was located.
By the time Luan Feng arrived at High Heaven Palace, it was already half a day later. When she saw Hua Qingsi and explained the purpose of her visit, she found out that Yang Kai was currently in closed door cultivation and couldn’t be disturbed.
After staying in High Heaven Palace for more than ten days, Yang Kai was still nowhere to be seen. Helpless, she could only let Hua Qingsi to inform him to immediately go to the Wild Ancient Land after he came out of seclusion.
Hua Qing Si naturally agreed.
…
In the depths of Dragon Temple, inside the Dragon Transformation Pond, the Azure Dragon and Ice Dragon’s roars did not stop for even a moment. Even the two Dragon Clan’s Great Elders’ voices had become completely hoarse after a month of pain.
The Dragon Marrow Liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pond was still a half zhang deep.
Inside the Dragon Temple, Yang Kai’s Dragon Language sound had been maintained until now. The complex patterns engraved around the Dragon Transformation Pond constantly flickered, releasing a strange energy that helped Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun absorb the Dragon Marrow Liquid.
It took much longer than expected.
It wasn’t until one and a half months later that Yang Kai suddenly fell silent, a look of deep exhaustion appearing on his face. The hundred zhang long dragon body he had been maintaining for so long suddenly dissipated and returned to its human form.
Inside the Dragon Transformation Pond, there was no sound. Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun seemed to have died, even their auras were extremely weak.
At a certain moment, a resounding dragon roar suddenly rang out, and the two Dragon Clan Elders’ weak auras suddenly soared as one azure and one white light shot out from the Dragon Transformation Pond.
As soon as they broke free, the Azure Dragon’s body expanded and its original 50 or 60 zhang long body suddenly transformed into a hundred zhang tall giant.
Although the White Dragon’s body was smaller, it wasn’t much smaller.
Terrifying dragon prestige filled the Dragon Temple as the two giant dragon heads intertwined with one another, their roars filled with joy and excitement.
Yang Kai opened his eyes and looked over, then threw a healing pill into his mouth and smiled.
The two dragons seemed to sense this gaze and rushed forward, transforming into human forms and revealing their true appearances.
Yang Kai raised his brow, “Congratulations to the two of you.” Turning to Zhu Yan, he said, “Great Elder is much younger.”
Although the original Zhu Yan wasn’t an old man, from his appearance, he was about fifty to sixty years old, but after a month and a half in the Dragon Transformation Pond, Zhu Yan’s current appearance was only thirty or forty years old. Like in his prime, his originally white hair had become jet black.
Fu Zhun’s change wasn’t great, but he was obviously a few years younger.
The two Great Elders looked at each other and actually half-knelt on the ground, respectfully saying, “Greetings to the Dragon God! Many thanks to the Dragon God!”
To be able to open the Dragon Transformation Pond and allow the heroic souls of the previous Great Elders to willingly enter the pool and transform into Dragon Marrow Liquid, this kind of method was something only the legendary Dragon God could accomplish, and the Dragon Transformation Pond was built by the Dragon God himself.
The Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Source Energy was also the Dragon God’s Origin Source Energy. It was said that he had maintain the Dragon Clan’s bloodline. Without him, there would be no Dragon Clan in this world! Because of this, he was also known as the Ancestral Dragon by the Dragon Clan.
It was absolutely impossible for the proud Dragon Race to lower their heads to a human. In the past, when Beast Martial Great Emperor had fallen out with Dragon Island because of Fu Xuan, the Dragon Race had never backed down.
However, at this moment, Yang Kai was no longer a simple human to the Dragon Race, but a successor who had inherited the Dragon God’s Source. Even the two Dragon Race Elders didn’t dare disrespect him.
Glancing at them, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and smiled, “There’s no need for the two of you to act like this. This is a legacy left behind by the Dragon Race’s previous Great Elders, and now it’s suitable for you to use. I’m not a Dragon God, I was just lucky enough to obtain the Origin Source he left behind.”
With the stimulation of the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Source Energy, the many pieces of information contained within the Origin Source also gradually awakened, so Yang Kai wasn’t too surprised by Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun’s current attitude.
Chuckling lightly, he said, “Not to mention, I am Xiao’er’s adoptive father, and the two of you are Xiao’er’s biological parents. You are not outsiders.”
Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun stood up and exchanged a glance before Zhu Yan smiled, “You’re right.”
In their hearts, they breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the successor of the Dragon God, they didn’t dare to be disrespectful, but in the end, Yang Kai hadn’t grown fully yet, so if they were to treat him respectfully in the future, they would also feel uncomfortable.
Now that things had come to this, it was for the best.
“Now that this matter has been resolved, and we don’t know what the outside world is like. Let’s not delay any longer and quickly leave,” Yang Kai stood up and walked out. Although he was still weak, he had taken a Spirit Pill and was quickly recovering.
Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun stepped forward and hesitated for a moment before Zhu Yan said, “Since you already know it’s the Dragon God’s Origin Source, the other one…”
“Su Yan?” Yang Kai paused for a moment before turning around and smiling, “When we return, I will help her awaken the Ancestral Phoenix Origin Source.”
“It really is her!” Fu Zhun revealed a look of understanding.
She had some suspicions before, but after all, she didn’t dare to be certain. Now that she learned from Yang Kai, she knew that her guess was correct.
“How much do you know about the Dragon God and Ancestral Phoenix?” Yang Kai asked. Although the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Source Energy in his body had been greatly awakened, allowing him to learn many things he didn’t know before, he still didn’t know anything about the origins of the Dragon God and Ancestral Phoenix. What made him even more puzzled was how these two fell in the past, and even fell in a low-level plane like the Central Capital World.
Yang Kai and Su Yan’s Dragon and Phoenix Inheritance was obtained from that world at the beginning, and it was only later that it was completed in Tongxuan Continent’s Dragon Valley Phoenix Nest.
Zhu Yan shook his head, “We don’t know about this matter, there are no records of it in the ancestral records.”
Yang Kai nodded, “It’s fine, we’ll figure it out one day.” The Origin Source in his body had yet to be fully activated, when it was fully activated, everything should be clear.
What he needed to deal with now was the Demon Race.
After leaving the Dragon Island, Yang Kai parted ways with Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun.
The two Dragon Clan Elders had been suppressed by the Demon Saints for the past few years, so they had long been suppressing their anger and had nowhere to vent it. Now that they had obtained Yang Kai’s help and their strength had greatly increased, they naturally wanted to take revenge. This was also to test their strength.
A battle of this level was not something Yang Kai could interfere with.
After congratulating them, Yang Kai stepped into the Space Array.
After Yang Kai left, the two Dragon Clan Elders looked towards a certain direction before transforming into dragons.
They weren’t afraid of not being able to find Xue Li and the others. Right now, the ten Great Demon Caves were guarded by Demon Pagodas and were connected to one another. As long as they wreaked havoc in any of the Demon Caves, Xue Li and the others would naturally come.
Xue Li probably didn’t expect that Zhu Yan would be able to fully recover in such a short period of time. On the other hand, Huo Bo, who had suffered from Fu Zhun more than a month ago, was probably still hiding somewhere to recuperate.
Two against two, and after their strength had greatly increased, Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun secretly decided to give Xue Li and Fu Yu a big surprise.
